In decorating my tree, I came across a butterfly ornament my friend, Karen, gave me last year. She had attached the following legend to it with a ribbon. I decided to display the butterfly with a familiar Christmas blessing. I hope you enjoy it.
Legend of the Butterfly
Old
Legend
Has it that
The butterfly is a
Symbol of resurrection to
Eternal life. The beautiful creature
Emerging from the cocoon represents the
Resurrection of Christ from the tomb. Just
As the butterfly bursts forth with a new body,
Those who trust in Christ come forth to new
life. The butterfly represents Flight, Freedom
And
Creative
Thinking.
Break forth, fly and create, my friends.
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Rev. 21:5 KJV

I'm a lover of God, mother of three, grandmother of eight, and a collector of friends. I like nothing better than talking, listening, laughing and eating with that crowd. My husband, Terry, and I feel blessed to wake up each day to a magnificent view of the Arkansas River. An amazing variety of creatures, from bobcats and coyotes to deer, bunnies and nutria, along with all sorts of birds roam the natural area behind our house. We also share our home with three silly kitties. I often find a lesson in what I see both indoors and out on any given day and usually find myself writing about it. I hope you'll join me in exploring the ways God speaks to us through His creation.
